The speed limiter function helps you stay within the driving speed limit that you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1.

Switch to activate and increase the limited speed or to activate the stored limited speed (RES/+).

2.

Speed limiter On/Off switch.

3.

Cruise control On/Off switch.

4.

Switch the function to standby, with limit speed stored (0).

5.

Switch to activate and decrease the limit speed (SET/˗).

Driving

When a limit speed has been set but not yet reached, driving is similar to driving a vehicle without the speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on "Exceeding the limit speed").

Switching on

12038_HJF_002_1_image.jpeg

Press the switch 2. The 6 warning light appears in grey. The "Limiter ON" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting for a limit speed to be stored.

To store the current speed, press the switch 1 (RES/+) or the switch5 (SET/˗): the limit speed replaces the dashes and, depending on the vehicle, the warning light 6 appears in white.

The minimum speed that can be stored is 19 mph (30 km/h).

warning

Please note that you must keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react in an emergency.

Varying the limit speed

12038_HJF_004_1_image.jpeg

The limit speed may be changed by pressing repeatedly or holding down:

  • the switch 1 (RES/+) to increase the speed;
  • the switch 5 (SET/˗) to reduce the speed.
warning

The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this, press the accelerator pedal firmly down beyond the point of resistance.

While the speed is being exceeded, the programmed speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes. Then, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the memorised speed.

warning

If the speed limiter is not available (after several attempts to activate), contact an approved dealer.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep gradient, the system may not maintain the speed limit: the speed limit flashes in red on the instrument panel and an audible signal warns you at regular intervals.

Putting the function on standby

The speed limiter function is suspended when you press switch 4 (0). The limit speed is stored and displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing the switch 1.

tip

When the speed limiter is set to standby, pressing switch 5 reactivates the function without taking into account the memorised speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.

Switching off the function

12038_HJF_002_1_image.jpeg

The speed limiter function is interrupted:

  • when you press the 2 switch. In this case the cruise control is selected and there is no stored speed;
  • when you press the 3 switch. In this case, the speed is no longer stored.

The 6 warning light disappears from the instrument panel to confirm that the function has stopped.
